What's so special about Sunday?

Sunday: A day of rebirth?

To me, Sunday seems like a day of rebirth, regeneration and a day of transition. If I have a goal, I start it at the end of Sunday. I see Sunday as the last day of the old week and the beginning of the new. It's one of my weird *things*. I HAVE to start something new at the end of Sunday, an yeah, I'm even as picky as to count 12:00am on a Monday as the absolute beginning of the week and of a new start. I was just thinking about and thought "How many others think of Sunday like I do?". Sunday is also my lazy day! I never want to do anything! I usually spend it going to Church, talking with friends and lazing around in my PJ's after dinner!

Even though I saw Skins earlier in the week, I'm watching the repeat as I write this. Skins is great! Really entertaining but I can't help feel that it makes all teenagers look like immoral, troublemaking, drug using yobs....But still, the new Skins seems okay but I remember thinking a lot more positive about the first episode of the first season.

Over and out!

Hope revived!

The flame of hope; reignited.

As many of my friends know, my faith in members of clergy was seriously dented in December of 2007 and it took me a long time to get over that and move past anger and sorrow. Today, however, a member of Clergy revived my trust in not only his Church but also myself. I'm so thankful to him

In other news, I got bored today and decided to buy a domain and served space...I have NO idea why! It was the biggest waste of money since....I don't know! I'm really annoyed at myself because I have no idea how to use an FTP server to upload anything. Hopefully I'll find someone to help me, especially since I bought both the domain and server space for two years!

I am officially crazy....

Every day I wake up, I'm filled with love. Not just any love but one that spans time and all the nations of the Earth...Yep, that's right, I'm in love with Facebook! Something is always happening even at the craziest hours of the day. I would like to publicly announce that I feel we should start a mass exodus from the old decrepit ways of Bebo and MySpace to the totally sexual Facebook....

Viva la revolution de Facebook!!

A Spiritual Journey

The Path I Must Take?

Before I get started, I should clarify that this blog I'm about to post is about Religion. I wasn't sure whether to put it here or on Reliteen (my other blog). I decided to put it here because it's personal.



Basically, anyone that knows me is aware that I love to study religion. Not just the big five (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism and Sikhism) but also the small, seemingly insignificant faiths that stem from ancient times.

I love religion and more importantly than that I seek to have a personal relationship with my Father and God through his Son Jesus Christ. I am far from perfect but I genuinely care about how the Lord in his righteous judgement will look at me at the end. I am far from fundamentalist and some Christians would call me liberal but I am far from that.

I've encountered about 20 different Christian denominations personally and I'm in a pickle right now. I'm about to make a choice. Is it for convenience or conviction?

UCC: My educating love!

http://www.bluedolphin.ie/images/ucc.jpghttp://www.ucc.ie/law/restitution/images/ucc_crest_clear_sm.gif

UCC. Where I long to be.

Well, I was reading about UCC on a forum and it got me sad. Basically, I was one of those thousands of Leaving Certificate 2008 students who failed not only themselves but those who care about their future. I failed Business, a subject in which I got a B in the Pre! And it was at higher level!

Sometimes, when I see my friends walking into UCC or I go to something at UCC, I get really sad knowing that I should be there working towards my degree. I know it's my fault but, I can't help it!

In other more positive news, I'm really enjoying my course at Coláiste Stiofán Naofa! My lecturer (Shane Lehane) is awesome! I don't think he really likes me, I think he doesn't think I care..but I do! And I hope my work shows that.

If I don't get the distinctions I need to get into UCC, I really don't know what I'll do. I will be severly distraught!

Anyway, that's my rant for the day done!

The year 1 B.O?

US President Barack Obama and wife Michelle walk towards the White House

20/01/2009 A.D = 1/1/1 B.O?

No no, it's not the year that the armpit messiah came! It's the year we watched history unfold before our very eyes on television. In a quiet café in Cork, blaring over the mumbles of boring conversation,I heard the prayers and desires of the American people echo. They saw their new found hero finally taking office and taking his rightful place as 44th President of the United States of America.

My only issue with Obama is his stance on partial birth abortion. I am "Pro Choice", however, I am anti abortion. That sounds like a twisted stance but I cherish the God given free will we all have and think that Women who are pregnant and who are considering an abortion need to resolve the issue themselves. Despite this, I hope that Obama does sign the Freedom of Choice Act.

One thing I have learnt personally over the past two weeks is.....Credit cards are evil! They are possibly the smallest and greatest temptation you can have! You open your wallet and realise you have no money and BAM there's your credit card in your face seducing you! I'm not sure what I'll do with it....I *might* cancel it but it is handy. I just hope I don't get to silly with it.

Moving on from this, I would like to publicly declare my love for Ulster Bank. I love Ulster Bank because even in the hellish recession facing the banks, they trust people like ME. I hope it isn't to their detriment!
